In Coote v Granada Hospitality Ltd (No.2) (19 May 1999) EOR87B, the EAT rules that it is possible to construe the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 so as to enable a claimant to make a victimisation complaint in respect of events that occurred after the employment relationship had terminated.

In Coote v Granada Hospitality Ltd (No.2) 19.5.99 EAT 1332/95, the EAT holds that it is possible to construe the
Sex Discrimination Act 1975 so as to enable a claimant to make a victimisation
complaint in relation to events that occurred after the employment relationship
had terminated. Such a complaint falls within s.6 of the Act, both because of
the language of the section and because it brings the section into conformity
with the EC Equal Treatment Directive.
